Why was the Stamp Act an important part of the story of the American Revolution?

0:05Good back becomes second nature, good problem is now going again. Remember the purpose for these taxes are no different than the goals during the seven years you'll get the colonists did fund which groups that are still defending the fonts even get the colonists to pay for quarters for the students. It's all about the way you go, you will also remember they're actually asking for less than one. They're seeking to raise less money on shipping Stamp Act, the columns and voluntarily even when it's not about paying taxes, and it's not about being my money, it's about how you pay the taxes and all you have to do a little bit. The Stamp Act is, essentially, if they say is that virtually every tablecloth thing, polonium, ranging

0:43from official things like marriage licenses and really comes down to even decks of playing cards. All those paper products in order to be legal and bought, sold anymore, and you will need to have a stamp, but we encounter a snake or fixed to show that they are efficient. In other words, if you get married and the marriage license doesn't understand, you're not legally married. If you make a wheel and Wilson had a stamp, it's dubious that you can actually leave that inherit the property. How does this raise money?

1:14Well, the stamps and will be shipped over from Britain and Colonial America, will be given to them as established, and then if you're a newspaper publisher who publishes a newspaper or a lawyer who needs to have legal papers and that girls on your administered who wants to publish your sermons. In order to do that, you'll have to purchase the stains from the standard treatment, and that's where the tax has been linked it's by indistinct. Now what you'll do is you'll presumably charge a higher now for your service to offset the costs, whatever the standard. You'll pass that cost on to deployment consumer eventually, but the way in which the tax is collected is that when the newspaper editor or the lawyer or the minister of bias and Stan, that

1:54will be how money will be raised. This is again going to contribute to the least cost to them, that them. Know that this is a tax that is going to actually have to be literally sold, stamps are going out from sold bikes status. In order for it to work, it's going to be after the established distributor in almost every diligent peroneal nerve. In places like Boston, several are always more than one, which means you're going to have hundreds.

2:18People who perhaps even thousands of people acting, establish trivial. Now, I suppose you could send over people from Britain to do it, but if you're going to get somebody over from Britain to be established within, you'd have to ask them to help with their lives, sell their house, so their household goods move their families, that will cost more than you're going to bring in the stacks. It's entirely dependent on colonial Americans be punished Stanford student and you can't pay them that much to give us this needs to be asylum. What you're looking for some principal important figure of Avila who already has an occupation only has a lively debate, a little bit extra more. In other words, you're going to ask these

2:51people to do something that their neighbors does spines, they consider a fundamental violation of their loved ones, and they're going to have to live with their neighbors forever. Very quickly, people go on. You don't want to be a stamped distributor. Your life will never be the same, your neighbors will turn against you. It will probably turn against him violently, they will see me as an agent of your impression and rioting with emerges in the summer of 1765 pamphlets or Lynn denouncing. What this shows is that, if you're going to try to tax the colonists inside, only women in rural communities. That tax is vulnerable and really not possible. The colonists can shut that down by intimidating even split.

3:30What's interesting is that the weight of them is crisis and shortening Stamp Act is resolved, is the Parliament figures in this act. They come to understand about those a difference they might not say was a difference constitutionally or ideologically between external and internal factors, but there's very much a material. They repeal the Stamp Act, it just goes away. Never again, never 1766 we ever tried to tax the colonies inside the colonies.
